QA "View All Questions" returns NO complete list of all tag topics.

28-Oct-20 5:53

Sometime, usually during database maintenance, some Reputation Events get lost due to database errors.
If that happens, then there will be a group of events that fail to get recorded.

We are trying to figure out how to mitigate this problem.

I filtered once last week using "SQL" and now (and probably since then) "Show All Posts" or clearing the filter, the "+" filter label disappears but the return set is only "SQL" posts. Nothing is of "interest" specified in the right panel either.

If I broke CP, I'm really sorry! But I didn't mean to break it. Wink | ;)

[EDIT]
Oh, ok. There WAS something in the right-hand panel filter. FF doesn't make typing visible in this control when the background is black and fonts are generally/manually set to lighter shades.

So it was me.

Didn't break anything, turns out!

It's a pernicious bug, that they have been working on for quite a while: the questions filter sometimes just sets itself to a random (or randomish) group of tags without any input from the user. It's proving complicated to track down ... Sigh | :sigh:

I found that if I press and hold on an item, the submenu will pop up.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It look as though the two responses "Re: Kayan Yazi" are answers to "How to get an an answer to your question", but that's not the case - the original message was early marked as "closed" but has now disappeared completely, leaving the responses hanging in mid air.

I did a clean up of Closed messages which unfortunately left some responses floating.
My bad.

I may well be imagining this, but didn't @ username codes used to work in QA answers?
I tried it here: Can I add an RSS feed from a medium publication?[^] but it didn't generate a link, so I assume it didn't send an email either?

(I've posted a request in Article Writing so it's covered, but I'm reasonably sure it used to work?)

Auto linkify an URL broken?

23-Oct-20 3:12

No, it doesn't. Yet.

We'll be adding that, and a couple of other things that may help

I wanted to report a spammer in the S&A Forum. When pasting the URL to the profile the script doesn't linkify it.

The "clock" appears, think, think, think... and the it pastes the plain URL without href and so on

EDIT: Not working there and not working here in the B&S forum.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Depends on the URL. Sometimes our title grabbing spider gets blocked.

It works.
Are you running any AdBlockers.
Does it happen when you use a Private Window?

It's a DNS issue due to our new servers. I've sent an email.

No, I am not.

33 minutes ago it worked for me too in the insider news... see: here <<< this link was manually hrefed too.

extern links seems to be working: Englisch ⇔ Deutsch Wörterbuch - leo.org: Startseite[^]

Still not working as usually, the [^] for the new window is missing and you have no "XXYY - personal profile" as label.

I thought it was already fixed since your last message to Chris a week ago.
At least I have not seen any problem more while doing the SAOTD the last days.

Profanity in daily news

I got a message from Big Brother (Symantec) telling me that they had blocked the Daily News today (22nd October) because of "Profanity". I clicked on yesterday's email on the "View Online" link hoping I would find a page with a list of links to all news emails - so I could see what was said - but failed to find it. Could someone please tell me the online link to this news email so I can see what the fuss is about.
At 71 I think I am old enough and broad minded enough to make my own decisions!!!
